Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In the elite dressage circles of New Orleans, where tradition and excellence reign supreme, Grant faces an unexpected challenge. As a seasoned and classically trained dressage instructor, he has dedicated his life to perfecting the art of horsemanship and guiding his students. But his steadfast commitment is put to the test when Melody McFarland, the barn's influential owner, introduces a new trainer.

Kitty Beauveloir, a spoiled debutante fresh from a brief stint studying riding in Europe, arrives with an air of entitlement and a penchant for disruption. Delighting in tormenting Grant, Kitty's reckless methods and brash demeanor threaten to unravel the prestigious reputation of the barn. As the barn's message becomes messy and muted under Kitty's influence, Grant's frustration grows.

Will Grant reclaim his place in the dressage world, or will the chaos at the New Orleans barn drive him away for good? Find out in "Grant," the compelling installment of the Stirrups and Sabotage Series.

Pure Fantasy

The story in no way reflected the dressage community in the New Orleans area. There were/are no dressage stables in “Crescent City”. The only upper level rider who had a horse in NOLA trained her horse on the levy of the Mississippi River. The SEDA ( South Eastern Dressage & Eventing) GMO riders kept their horses on farms north of Lake Ponchetrain around Covington or west in Baton Rouge. There were few young riders and most of those were in a very good Pony Club. Most amateurs were young to middle aged women. There were a handful of very good trainers many of whom had their Gold Medals and lots of clinics with visiting clinicians. The group was small but close and dedicated. All that changed after Katrina when many of the professionals and amateurs had to relocate. Some of the dressage and eventing community have returned . Another misconception is that southern Louisiana is steeped in “Southern traditional .” It is not like the “Deep South” because of all the influence of French, German, Italian and “Acadian” immigration starting in the early days of America. It would have been really cool if the reader had a “Creole” accent ! And any story about NOLA without talking about FOOD is not a true reflection of the area 🦐🍾🎺⚜️

Good writing but not a full story and bad narration

I really enjoyed the writing in this story, and would like to explore more in the series; however AI narration is a deal breaker for me. It’s just not enjoyable.
